Abstract 

Renal cystic disease can be developmental, acquired or inherited and is the most common genetic cause for end-stage renal insufficiency in children. The recent increase in the pre-natal detection rate poses a challenge to the paediatrician in achieving a diagnosis and deciding appropriate management. This article reviews the causes of renal cystic disease in childhood with an up-to-date overview of the features and management of the most common causes.
